| Project Detail |
In Mongolia, major earthquakes have occurred mainly in the western region, and three active faults have been discovered near the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, and the number of felt earthquakes is increasing in the city, raising concerns about the risk of earthquake disasters. I am. Under these circumstances, the Japanese government has created a comprehensive earthquake risk map based on various risk assessments, established a seismic evaluation method for buildings and lifelines in the country and Ulaanbaatar city, and established guidelines for seismic reinforcement of buildings. We supported the creation etc. As a result, we have developed laws, systems, and organizational structures related to earthquake disaster Disaster Risk Reduction, earthquake Disaster Risk Reduction plans, communication and emergency response systems during disasters, earthquake observation systems, land use and development regulations, earthquake resistance of buildings and infrastructure, and community Disaster Risk Reduction Concrete recommendations were compiled in Mongolias first Disaster Risk Reduction white paper. In addition, progress is being made in establishing laws such as a system for demolishing and rebuilding buildings deemed not to be earthquake resistant, and making it easier to assess the earthquake resistance of existing buildings. As for the central governments responsibility regarding earthquake Disaster Risk Reduction, it is necessary to steadily proceed with earthquake resistance evaluations and seismic retrofitting projects, giving priority to important public buildings such as government buildings and core hospitals that must not lose their functions in the event of a disaster. . To this end, issues such as policy formulation, human resources and technology, and Disaster Risk Reduction Education and awareness must be resolved. This cooperation aims to establish a system for implementing earthquake resistance projects by updating and formulating new policies, systems, and laws aimed at strengthening earthquake resistance, and by strengthening the capabilities of related administrative staff, designers, and constructors. The earthquake resistance of important public buildings will be strengthened, contributing to the reduction of earthquake disaster risk. |
